One of the best ways to begin your journey away from pain is to implement an active-based physical therapy program. SpineOne will teach you how to manage your pain.Learn More
What to Expect
During the first visit to SpineOne Rehab, you will be evaluated by a physical therapist who will conduct an initial evaluation and develop an appropriate plan of care in strict accordance with the ordering physician's prescription.
Learn MoreIs Physical Therapy Right for You?
The vast majority of patients who suffer from back or neck pain are not surgical candidates. This allows them to choose non-surgical alternatives to treat their conditions. Unfortunately, many of these treatments provide only temporary relief.

Active Therapy
Patients who suffer from back or neck pain become experts at preventing movement of the painful area. They naturally look for ways to “guard” the painful area and begin to reduce their physical activities as a protective mechanism.

Learn MoreExercise Options
Once you have been evaluated by the physical therapist and a treatment plan has been designed, SpineOne Rehab offers many options to reach your goals.
Achievement of Goals
Patients often ask us "when will I be finished with physical therapy?" When you can successfully perform your home exercise program, when your pain on a scale of 0 - 10 hovers in the 0 - 1 range, when you can witness an increase in both the range of motion and strength of your spine, and when you truly can "treat your own pain" and still enjoy what you like to do, then we mutually may agree that you have completed your physical therapy.
SpineOne Rehab Physical Therapy
One of the best ways to begin your journey away from pain is to implement an active-based physical therapy program. Once we teach you to manage your own pain, you will realize a sense of empowerment in achieving goals you once thought were impossible to reach.
